Manchester City great Kevin De Bruyne could be on bench in his final home game for club

Kevin De Bruyne may be a legend at Manchester City, having inspired the club to 16 trophies in his 10 years at the club, but that does not seem to have guaranteed him a starting spot in the first XI for his final home game at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday. When the ongoing Premier League season ends, De Bruyne ends his association with the Manchester club, which he joined from Bundesliga club Wolfsburg in 2015 with six Premier League titles and the Champions League title in 2023 to his name. City manager Pep Guardiola said he could not promise a start for the playmaker with the club in the race to secure Champions League qualification. De Bruyne played the full 90 minutes in the 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final on Saturday. Now with the home game against Bournemouth in the P...

Mamata warns teachers not to cross ‘Lakshman Rekha’ of agitation: ‘Fight issue legally’

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has warned protesting teachers not to cross the “Lakshman Rekha” of andolan (agitation), urging them to pursue legal avenues instead of stage dharnas.“We are all humans. We can love those who have respect for humanity. I am not against andolan. However, there is a ‘Lakshman Rekha’ for an andolan. Just like I cannot stop anyone, nobody can stop me either. I would suggest they fight the issue legally. We will help them—we are already doing so. We are not against them,” Banerjee said.

Here’s what to do if your sugar levels reach 350 mg/dL regularly after meals

It is common for the blood sugar levels to rise a little after a meal. But is it okay if it spikes to 350 mg/dL? Dr Manisha Arora, director, internal medicine, CK Birla Hospital, Delhi, said if there is inadequate insulin production or if the body develops insulin resistance — where insulin is either not effectively produced or cannot be utilised properly due to being trapped in fat cells (adipocytes) — the glucose remains in the bloodstream, leading to high blood sugar levels.Notably, insulin is secreted in two primary ways: basal secretion, which occurs even during fasting, and bolus secretion, which is triggered by food intake. Consuming high-glycemic or carbohydrate-rich foods, such as sweets or cakes, can rapidly elevate blood sugar. Other contributing factors include the use of certa...

Congress revives Morarji ‘treason’ charge to attack Jaishankar over Op Sindoor ‘message’ to Pakistan

New Delhi: The Congress Monday launched a fresh attack on External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, alleging that he “committed treason” by acting as an “informant” for Pakistan. The party cited his remarks that New Delhi sent a “message” to Islamabad at the “start” of Operation Sindoor that it would target only its terrorist infrastructure and not the military.

Desai, a prominent Congress leader until his fallout with Indira Gandhi, was the first non-Congress prime minister of India as part of the Janata alliance, which later became the Janata Party, in 1977.
